<h2>Acknowledgements</h2>

The first versions of <b>ProGuard</b> grew out of <b>RetroGuard</b>, which its
|
||
|
|
author Mark Welsh kindly made available under the GNU Lesser General Public
|
||
|
|
License. <b>RetroGuard</b> is a very nice piece of code, but it only performed
|
||
|
|
obfuscation. I started from the class file parsing code and wrote my own
|
||
|
|
shrinker, optimizer, obfuscator, and preverifier. As of version 4.0, all of the
|
||
|
|
original code has been rewritten, so the most obvious remaining similarity are
|
||
|
|
the program names.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
Dirk Schnelle has contributed and maintained the first versions of the Ant
|
||
|
|
task. I have rewritten the implementation for version 3.0, but the XML schema
|
||
|
|
is still based on his work.
|
||
|
